Summer is just around the corner, and there’s no better time to launch a fresh, stylish line of footwear than now. At Dorsay Shoes, with decades of experience in handcrafted shoe production, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. From design conception to final manufacturing, discover how you can create a footwear line that’s not only modern and stylish but also comfortable and durable.
Inspiration and Design: The Foundation of Your Collection
Every great footwear collection begins with an idea. Inspiration can come from anywhere: the vibrant colors of summer nature, the textures of sand and sea, or the latest fashion trends. At Dorsay Shoes, we believe design should reflect both aesthetics and functionality. Here are some tips to get started:
Summer Color Palette: Choose bright and cheerful tones like yellow, coral, sky blue, and mint green.
Light and Breathable Materials: Use soft leathers, natural fabrics, and materials that allow ventilation, such as lace and silks.
Versatile Designs: Create styles that can be worn both for a day at the beach and an elegant outdoor dinner.
Last Creation: The Heart of Footwear
The first and most crucial step in making any shoe is creating the last. This piece, a hand-carved replica of the human foot, is essential for ensuring comfort and the perfect fit. At Dorsay Shoes, we combine artisanal techniques with modern technology to make each last flawless. This includes:
Precise Measurements: We take around 35 measurements to ensure the last fits the foot perfectly, considering factors like toe asymmetry and instep height.
Custom Fit: We adapt lasts for different widths and heel heights, ensuring maximum comfort.
Prototyping and Material Selection
Once the last is ready, the next step is prototyping and selecting materials. At this stage:
Detailed Prototypes: We create detailed prototypes to ensure that the final design meets your expectations and those of your customers.
High-Quality Materials: We select only the best materials, from laminated leathers and patent leather to Chantilly lace and Swarovski crystals, for that added touch of sophistication.
Handmade Production and Quality Control
The production of your summer shoes is an artisanal process carried out by our master craftsmen at our facilities in Spain. Here, each shoe goes through multiple stages to ensure the highest quality:
Cutting and Sewing the Upper: Our artisans carefully cut and sew each piece of the upper and lining of the shoe.
Lasting: The upper is placed on the last and hand-fitted, ensuring a perfect fit before attaching the sole.
Perfect Finishes: We edge the welt, polish the heel, shine the sole, and apply wax for a flawless finish.
Innovation and Customization
At Dorsay Shoes, we are committed to innovation and customization. We quickly adapt our designs to market trends and preferences and offer customization options so that each pair of shoes is unique. You can choose from:
Different Heel Heights: We offer a variety of heel heights to satisfy different style and comfort preferences.
Custom Finishes: Personalize leather finishes and add accessories like Swarovski crystals for an extra touch of glamour.
